I had a blood draw just over 2 weeks ago, after a positive hpt only to get the sad news my hcg was only 9 and I should prepare for another loss, 2 days later the second blood test was at 6.2 and so I was told to stop taking my progesterone prescription and let the miscarriage happen naturally. Four days later I started to have a heavy bleed, just like my other early m/c. I didn't think much of it. My doctor always likes me to make sure I am back to no hcg before trying again so I use a home test as confirmation. I had forgotten to do that and on Christmas eve when i felt some strange pulling in my lower abdomen it reminded me. I thought I should test to make sure because something felt a little strange.
This was my first month on the progesterone prescription so I wanted to be sure it hadn't kept anything around, after all, it was almost 2 weeks after the test shoing only 6.2 hcg so it should be gone. Imagine my surprise when 2 line appeared again, faint second line but a line all the same.
Doctor was confused, and had me come in for a blood draw to double check, saying perhaps it was a faulty hpt. So when she claled me back saying my hcg was now 17 everyone was confused. It is still oo low to be a viable pregnancy but they have no idea why it is starting to rise, or if it rose and is now falling again or what in the world is happening. I have to go back n for another test and an ultra sound on Wednesday (we are supposed to be going out of town tomorrow and if we do she said it is ok to wait until Monday for the tests). She doesn't seem to think it is urgent, and there is no biological way it could be a new pregnancy so she sent my blood to other labs to test for a few other things so I guess we'll see.
Anyone heard of anything that remotely resembles what;s happening to me?
She said with numbers so low it is unlikely to be ectopic pregnancy and she also spoke with an GYN cancer doc who didn't seem to think it was anything to worry about in that area (relief) but no one can tell us what might be happening.
